The PlayStation Recap: What We’re Reading

Putting together this Recap is the last thing I’m doing before my holiday vacation officially begins, so forgive me if I keep it brief. I still love you, I just love gorging on Christmas cookies more.

We didn’t see it coming, but the first half of this week ended up being quite a doozy. We saw Marvel heroes return to LittleBigPlanet, Sonic and co. hit the portable tracks in Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, map-exploring indie entry Knytt Underground rolled out on PSN and PS Vita, we landed some Angry Birds DLC (seriously, who saw that coming?)… and that’s not even addressing the top 10 listed below!

Let’s talk about that number 1 post though: The first-annual PlayStation.Blog Game of the Year Awards! We put a lot of time and passion into getting these awards set up, and you all responded in full force. Some of the categories were almost too close to call, but in the end your voices were heard and the winners chosen. Go take a look at the list, and see what PlayStation gamers chose as the best games of 2012.

As for what I’m playing this week, I have officially surrendered myself to the gaming gods at ATLUS, whose Persona 4 Golden refuses to let me go. I anticipate a large portion of my “family time” next week will be spent face-down in my PS Vita, looking for clues on the Midnight Channel and forging ever onward in the quest to max out my social links.

But enough about me. What do you plan on playing over the break? Maybe catch up on that backlog a bit?

I’m playing: Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 4 Golden
I’m watching: Dickens’ A Chirstmas Carol (A dinner play, as well as the 1938 classic)
I’m listening to: PlayStation Blogcast 056
